    Default Hear or Heard

    Hi, first time on this forum and I'm not a native English speaker and have a simple question. Which one is grammatically correct: I will let you know when I hear from them or I will let you know when I heard back from them. Many thanks.

    Welcome to the forum, Nerul.

    You need 'hear (back)' or 'have heard (back)'.
    Barb_D, bhaisahab and anhnha like this.
    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
